Margaree Forks, NS to Summerside, PE = 627 km
I will make this post brief and will properly update later.
For my birthday of 29 again this year, I drove from Cape Breton to Summerside, PEI. Boarded the ferry and crossed over to PEI, thus securing a resort on the island for the evening as a bday treat for myself. Truth be told, being a long weekend I didnt have a choice but to splurge because most accomodations didnt have vacancy. Upon arriving at Charlottetown, I took a 45 min horse drawn carriage ride by Mick,a Belgian, and Max, a black Percheron. Learned about the history of our founders and about the historic houses. I proceeded to the north coast, with very few stops along the way.
Walked on a red beach and made it to North Cape,
before beelining it back south to the resort. This island, while small, takes a long time to drive. I was actually quite disappointed with the scenic drive signage. Had to drive the old fashioned way of looking at signs to guide me around as lady GPS was taking the most direct route everywhere. She did not like me straying from her commands today. I drove 14 hours today, and clearly needed a beer or 4 as a reward. The pub downstairs was still open and I had a late dinner. The remaining patrons sang me Happy Birthday and I got a beer purchased by a guy at the bar. Had a great sleep and am now figuring the penultimate leg for my drive home.
